Ive read you’d be fairly safe from fallout etc. in South America. Farther south the better, I suppose.
As long as we have leaders like Putin, Kim Jong Ing, and god forbid, trump, we will always be close to nuclear war. And also the permanent tensions in the Middle East that have been and will be for centuries. And the gullibility of half the populace of the US in particular, to conspiracy theories, cult brainwashing susceptible personalities and apathy and lack of critical thinking, ethics and such a wild array of disinformation that exists and/or cannot be checked….it’s just a matter of time.
I'm urging utmost priority on protecting the entire living world, and warn about our tribal behaviors that increasingly risk its destruction. I mentioned that John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev worked out a deal that prevented nuclear war in 1962. There were those back then, as there are now, who insist we shouldn't deal with the hated opposition and accept whatever risk of blowing up the world. That's tribalism at its worst! Unfortunately, the nuclear threat is extreme today, and involves more than the individuals you mentioned. There are critical thinkers who understand that with more enlightened leadership we can scale down and even end the conflicts that heighten the risk of nuclear war. So I'm not fatalistic about the future.
One of the reasons I am nauseously optimistic about the result of the 2024 election (today!!) is my hope that Harris will win because if she does not, the threat of nuclear war under Trump becomes increasingly likely, especially with the news yesterday of 2,000+ North Korean troops massing along the border of Ukraine and with Trump and Musk being so (illegally) cozy with Putin.
Apartment in Chile sounds good! What an essay!
